John Carter, Disney Movie
Edgar Burroughs is one of the most filmed authors of all time; what is unique about that in general is the fact that it is due to only one of his books - “Tarzan”, while always is adapted the first book and never the more fantastic and wacky adventures …
“The Avengers” (2012 film)
I went to see “The Avengers” with mixed expectations-I saw it in 3D, and was prepared for lots of the visual spectacle you would hope for from a superhero blockbuster. But the last film I saw in 3D was “Avatar,” which is a case study on how stunning visuals …
The Fisher King Movie
Wow The Fisher King is probably now one of my favorite movies and probably one of the best performance by Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams. The story is so deep and heartfelt is almost made me cry at the end. The story is about this radio show host who is …
Dead Silence (2007)
If you’re in the mood for some mindless scares, the recently released “Dead Silence” might be a good choice for you. I, however, find it too gory and frightening, and having no deeper message than “Boo!!” is, for me, a big turn-off.
The story is about a dead ventriloquist (performer …
Signs Movie
I was flipping through my Netflix Instant Watch catalog the other night and came across the movie Signs and decided to watch it again.
I have seen a lot of movies about alien invasions. This is one of the few that manages to scare the crap out of me every …
A Frozen Flower (a Korean Movie)
If you love movies of foreign languages, then you can try to watch this Korean movie titled, A Frozen Flower. I thought it’s a rather weird movie and at the same time, feels quite confused by it all. This movie is basically about royalty, about the “relationship” of …
Ghost of Girlfriends Past Movie
When I saw this movie, I immediately expected it to be a good one since it features Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey; Michael Douglas has a cameo role in this and it just adds flavor to the movie. The story is about a young bachelor named Connor Mead (Matthew …
Death’s Shadow movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death’s Shadow, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles as Detective Sergeant Troy and Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby. This movie was created in 1999 and was produced by Brian-True May and Betty Willingale. This movie was adapted for television from the book series …

This Is the End, 2013 movie
If you’re searching a movie that will make your stomach hurt from laughing, this is one of them. This Is the End got me filled with laughter from beginning to end and never got boring.
It all starts with Jay Baruchel visiting Seth Rogen in Los Angeles. That’s correct, the …
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012 film)
We all have an iron memory of Disney’s Snow White, the animated film that conceived the enduring image of a wide-eyed princess garbed in puffed sleeves and beribboned hair. I know Snow White head to heels because I used to sketch her often in my notebooks as a …
Network movie
Network was an intriguing motion picture that really tests just how far the media will go for ratings. The scary part is I feel like we’ve seen just how far they’d go, only this was back before the craziness really became rampant.
Faye Dunaway makes a big impression in …
Aliens
Aliens is probably one of the movies that can scare me till this day. The monsters in this movie are pretty terrifying. I think that this movie may have been where they got the idea for the game Doom. Because this movie was very freaky. I think the music and …
Ice Princess
Some people do have talent but they don’t have the means. Others do have the means but they simply don’t have talent. This is the main storyline of “The Ice Princess” featuring the actress, Michelle Trachtenberg of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame in her on screen main role as …
The Natural movie
“The Natural” starring Robert Redford is one of the greatest movies of all time! It is the story of a boy with the greatest baseball talent of all time. He can pitch, hit, and throw unlike anyone has seen before. More than that, it is the story of the …
The Holiday movie
The Holiday is a movie about two women who switch houses for a holiday. Both are rather depressed and without partners, and in need of a big change in their lives. Cameron Diaz plays the frustrated Amanda, and Kate Winslet plays Iris. Iris seems overall more stable and centered …
Spider Man
What can I say I just loved the Spider Man man. I think this was the best out of all 3 movies made. This movie was really cool because it shows you how Spider Man becomes Spider Man. I really liked how they showed the whole story about he got …

This is my favorite anime. Samurai X tells about story of one samurai named Kenshin, known as Battousai Himura. Battousai is name which people had given to him because he is a murderer. It’s said that he lived at the end of Tokugawa regime. He worked for the Japan …
40 Days and 40 Nights
I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …
Haunted Honeymoon
Featuring the comedic talents of Gene Wilder, Dom DeLuise, and Gilda Radner, this isn’t a film you want to have missed, if you like funny. This is an older film, made around 20 years ago or so, in 1986. But, it’s still worth looking for, and/or watching …
Eagle Eye (2008)

The Kings of Mykonos (2010 film)
This is an Australian production filmed in the famous Mykonos island, in Greece. As long as you do not form high expectations about it in advance you might have some fun with it.
The plot itself is not a big deal. An Aussie of Greek origin inherits a big deal …

Cleaner (2007) is a drama film by director Renny Harlin and is rated R by the MPAA for bloody images, some violence and language.

Gulliver’s Travels (2010 Film)
Jack Black is one of those actors who I can’t seem to not laugh at. He is just funny to me, his facial expressions, his voice changes, his general presence in films and responses to other elements and actors in films leaves me breathless with laughter. And while I …
Jason Goes to Hell (Unrated Version)
The unrated version of Jason Goes to Hell is marginally better than the rated version, but that isn’t saying a whole lot. The movie still suffers from some plot problems, and some bad acting. After watching either version you will most likely end up feeling sorry for poor Erin …
Darkness (horror movie)
I thought that I’d watched all the movies with Anna Paquin in it until I saw another one recently on cable television. It was a horror movie named “Darkness”, which I noticed didn’t have a very good rating on neither the cable television guide nor IMDB. Nevertheless, sometimes I …
Fighting (starring Channing Tatum)
It is really such a pity because Fighting (starring Channing Tatum) could have been so much better. In more ways than one, it has a special potential for being a great fighting movie but it fails to. Even Channing Tatum’s handsome looks could not make me really happy …
Pretty Woman
Pretty Woman - Review : I watched this a few days back on HBO. This is again a Cinderella kinda story with Julia Roberts playing a Hooker.
One day, she is hired for a night Richrd Gere, who is a business Tycoon. They meet for sex, and end up liking …

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
I loved The Devil Wears Prada film largely because Meryl Streep was such a bitch. The good news is How To Lose Friends And Alienate People is written in the same vein only the main character is not Anne Hathaway but a smart talking clumsy writer (Sydney Young) played …

Brave Heart movie
This is the fourth year when I first saw the movie ‘Brave Heart’. Since then I have seen this for innumerable times. My favorite Mel Gibson is in lead role and as usual he shows his strong caliber in this movie.
Winning some Oscars will not suffice to say all …
Kingdom of Heaven (2005 film)
A direct cause and effect product of my personal favorite film of all times Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven takes us where history of the Middle Ages has always talked about-the Crusades. It is a film that inspired me for the heroic part of that time’s history.
…
The Pink Panther Movie
This movie was over the top kookie. I don’t think it was as good as the original Pink Panther movie, because the clumsiness of the detective in this version (played by Steve Martin) was just a bit too obvious and not as offhand as in the original.
The curtain costumes …
Old School the movie
I sat down with my mother, we were having a girls movie night. This girls night movie theme was comedy. Will Ferrel is always at the top of my list for comedy movies. He did not let me down on this one at all. I laughed during almost the …
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It’s really a shame that I never had a film of Harry Potter with the status of a perfect movie. Each story is so strong, before or after you have never truly inclusive workplace. Of course, the three-ACT-structure can be used, but no information or knowledge to come, but …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
The first thing I thought when I saw this movie advertising was that the movie looked like it was going to be unusual, but not necessarily funny. When I actually got to watch it though, I realised how right I was, as I never laughed one time throughout the …

Grindhouse: Planet Terror (NR, 2007)
I skipped this one in theatres. I’d seen something else that Quentin Tarantino recently released, and I wasn’t pleased. But then I realized that Planet Terror is actually the brain-child of Robert Rodriguez. This film was so much better than I thought it was going to …
Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …

LAND OF THE DEAD movie
LAND OF THE DEAD
It seemed that George Romero would never make another zombie film. Twenty years had passed since the release and flop of the over-rated DAY OF THE DEAD and nary a new Romero Zombie film was in sight.
Actually, this film was bouncing around in development for a …
